Light only knows | Draco Malfoy

July 7th, 1998

Draco Lucius Malfoy

Blaise and Theo stood in their nice outfits, waiting for me. I just left Meira in our room, and I'm hoping that the boys can't tell. 

"You're late Draco," Blaise says annoyed. 

"I'm right on time actually, not everyone feels the need to be 20 minutes early for everything".

Blaise rolls his eyes but says nothing else on the matter. The three of us make our way to where the dinner is set up. My mother stood there talking to Pansy. When she looks over at me, her eyes showing fear, she waves me over. 

"Draco darling, you look lovely. Where is Meira?"

"Should be out soon, she is fixing her hair or something," I say as casual as possible. 

"Oh alright, I just want to talk with you quickly," She glances around a little frantic.

"Sure mother, what is it?"

"I want you to be careful tomorrow".

"Careful?"

"Be aware of your surroundings, events like these in a time like this".

"Mother, do you know something? Something you're not telling me?"

She hesitates which means she absolutely does know something. 

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Meira. I turn fully, her catching my attention. She looks beautiful, no surprise there. My mother squeezes my arm so my attention is back on her.

"Just remember what I said, I want you safe". 

"Yes, mother. It's fine".

Meira makes her way over to me. I can tell by her face something is wrong but she's trying to contain it.

"Draco, I need to talk to you about something".

My mother hesitantly walks away, leaving us. Meira shifts in her heels.

"Yes?"

"You're not going to like what I'm about to say, and I promise I'm only telling you because I care".

"Can it wait? I have to go with Blaise and Theo".

"No Draco, this isn't about us either," she whispers. "We're all in danger, or will be. The wedding is being targeted". 

"Targeted? Meira no one knows when the wedding is except for the people going".

Blaise and Pansy made it very clear that the wedding should be lowkey and kept to the family. They didn't wany Voldemort to show up. 

"That's the part I didn't want to tell you, your mother has told the Order about the wedding. She's betrayed you all Draco. I got a letter!"

She pulls some parchment out of her dress band, handing it to me frantically. 

A letter from George Weasley. I read through quickly and immediately become annoyed and maybe a bit worried. 

"Why would he write to you? Have you been in contact with him?"

She panics, "No! I don't know, we've only talked the time we saw him! I'm not sure why he wanted to tell me, I have no contact with anyone over there". 

I want to believe her, but I honestly didn't know who to believe. George could be telling Meira things to scare her but I also know Weasley enough to know that he probably is telling her what he knows to be true.
